Our Team

Spend five minutes with the employees of Vista Realty and it is clear what sets them apart from other property management businesses and other small businesses in general: loyalty. Of the fourteen employees of Vista Realty, nine have given over twelve years of service to the company. Mary Cash has been running the show as office manager for 19 years. Angelia Mauldin started as a receptionist in 1990 and today finds herself as the Director of Property Management and Sales. Sharon Hill, a property manager since 1992, is Vista’s fact totum for all other property managers. She trains them to serve their communities with the same efficiency and compassion she has shown in her own communities for nearly 30 years. Maricela Castro was hired as a property manager in 2008 and has recently joined Angelia Maudlin as an inhouse broker, representing tenants in their pursuit of homeownership.

Heather attributes Vista’s success to her staff’s loyalty and longevity:

“Our staff and employees are my number one priority. Clients and tenants are of course important, but without protecting the trustworthiness, compassion, and respectfulness of my staff we couldn’t foster our dedication to customer service and our devotion to community.”

The most valuable lesson Heather has learned in her ten years of leading the company is to delegate responsibilities to those trusted staff members and maintain an open line of communication. In her view this feeds back into the role of Vista as an advocate for all their clients, tenants and owners alike, “Empowering others and trusting them to make decisions has made this entire team strong and confident.”

Sales Department

After 40 years it would be easy to focus on what’s already working and stick with property management, but Vista Realty hasn’t been around this long without keeping a close watch for opportunities to come. The future lies in building relationships with tenants. Angelia Maudlin shares, “As property managers, we make every effort to ‘hand-show’ our available properties. We want to be there for tenants from the very beginning of the rental application process to solving work orders and maintenance issues, and then finally as a representative and trusted source in their search for a forever home.” Heather has assembled a team of knowledgeable and dedicated real estate professionals that are as eager as she to launch this new chapter in the development of an outside sales department at Vista Realty. With Heather continuing her role as Broker in Charge, Angelia Maudlin, Maricela Castro, and Susan Fishel will go beyond representing investors in purchasing rental properties. They will also be there for tenants in their pursuit of becoming homeowners themselves.
